there is still yet time, to take a different path

over the past two years,
i’ve sat in countless waiting rooms
with my son
at 3 DAN! doctors
at diagnostic centers
GI specialists
developmental pediatricians
naturopaths
and chiropractors
i’ve collected poop samples
urine
and have held my son down for blood work
too many times
we’ve spent thousands of dollars
hoping that the next bottle of supplements
would hold the answer
would unlock the mystery of the
what
when
how
and
why
did this happen?
because, he wasn’t.
before.

what was the tipping point?

and the crowds scream,
it’s the vaccines, stupid…

which yes, it is a very big part of our story
but not the whole story

it’s more than that
it’s so much more than my doctors can grasp.
it runs deeper than anything modern medicine can touch.

it was my health before Moose’s birth
my husband’s health
all of the migraine medications
and the antibiotics
and the birth control pills
and the crappy standard American diet
and the stress
that I lived on for years.

deep down inside,
i knew it was much more.
and no one could quite grasp what i thought.

it was all of it.

i knew that autism was the tipping point for him
just a sign of the iceberg beneath
the sludge of our modern living and modern world
big pharma. crap food.

but sometimes, just as you are about to give up, because the monies run out.
things happen
and have a way of pointing you in the right direction.

i stumbled upon a woman named Amy
at a food conference
who casually mentioned what worked for her twins…
homeopathy

it sparked interest, but at that point, i was burning out,
and becoming skeptical of the whole “healing” autism thing.
later that week a friend came home from a trip and
recommended a homeopathy book
autism without despair 
by tinus smits
i read that book
and reread it
and reread it
and the butterfly effect continued…
then at autism one.
i sat in on a panel of 7 mothers
telling their stories
about homeopathy
and that night, i felt a shift.
that week,
i changed course.
i stopped with the 10+ supplements
i reconsidered.
i stepped back.
i paused.

we are taking a different path: we have started homeopathy.

and one week into the journey, friends
we are seeing tremendous change
in sleep
in poop
in awareness.

funnny, we began cranio-sacral and this at the same time,
as they complement each other,
and by god, something has shifted in my kid.

i have never been more certain of anything in my life.
about this little known {in the rest of the world…it’s common
here in the states, not so much} art of medicine
homeopathy.

why?
because i’ve been treating myself.
and it works.
homeopathy.
it really works.

i know in a year of two,
Moose will be back.

thanks for reading and supporting my boy,
Nicolette

    just the post I needed to see tonight! This gives me hope for my youngest(adolescent) son. I’m so glad to see positive changes and look forward to hearing more.
    As for immunizations, my four children were all ok until my oldest son (a college student athlete) developed Guillain Barre after graduation. In a matter of days he couldn’t walk or even hold a water bottle to his mouth. It was a quick recovery (8 days) in the hospital but took many months of therapy. Today, you would never know he had it. But, he had a flu shot months earlier then, had the flu. His neurologist recommended he not get flu vaccines anymore. Really makes you think
    So, I look forward to hearing more about the homeopathy for Moose and you too! You are so kind to open up your heart and share. Thank you!
    And – sorry for the lengthy comment :)

    • Thanks, Mimi. I love lengthy comments and hearing your story.

      I’ve heard of that happening from the flu shot… :( Does make you wonder… Even if that happened awhile ago, it could still affect his health…perhaps talk to a homeopath?

      I will share more as Moose progresses!

  5. Your bravery and love for your son is beautiful! Thanks for sharing your story with us.

    Wow! You are inspiring, Mama! (Wiping the tears away…) Thank you for writing this.

  7. Oh my goodness. I am sitting here weeping. I feel the exact same way. My frustration is losing my mom to inexplicable lung cancer. It is everything we are doing wrong. http://www.six-cents.com. Thank you so much for sharing your heart.
